Fall

Back in New Jersey where the leaves have turned and folks have decorated their yards and homes for Halloween. The log houses are particularly picturesque, so American it breaks your heart.

The flags wave proudly in the autumnal breeze despite the mayhem in Washington. I'm still glad to be home. Only when we're in another country do we appreciate how well ours runs, debt ceilings, healthcare reform, Tea Party and all.

The trees are in all their glory, the leaves burning the brightest before winter's sleep. The days are shorter, the air is crisp.
